The Indiana Fight.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. l0.-The Railways
and corridors of the capitol were thronged
by an immense crowd ofpeople this morn
ing, anxious to witness possible develop
ments in the political struggle now in
progress. All interest centered in the
house, where the galleries we're densely
packed, while prominent politicians were
present and located in available portions
for giving advice and assistance to their
friends on the floor. Directly after
prayer, the doorkeeper stepped to the
front of the speakers chair and amour
ced the presence of the senate, the SEN
ate consisting Of nineteen Republican
members of that body. Kcllison Dem
ocrat) arose and called Mr.. Speaker, but
was not recognized. Speaker Sayre i'm
mediately announced that the business of
the convention was to canvass the vote for
lieutenant governor. Other Democratic
members claimed the speaker attention,
but all were refused recognition. The
reading Of the returns consumed half an
hour, and at its close, while the clerk was
making his computations Jewett Demo
craft addressed the speaker, but was told
that nothing would be in order
until the canvass was completed.
When the canvass was completed,
Robertson was declared elected by a ma
jority Of 1923 votes. He was declared
elected and was sworn in by Il Justice of
the superior court. Robertson at. once
took the gavel and proceeded to read his
address. Democrats attempted to be
heard, and Jewett, (Democrat) exclaimed,
Mr.. Speaker, we do not recognize the
legality of this joint convention. pointing
to the Republican senator's, when there is
no representations of the senate except
the flag end of that body. We protest
against this %usurpation of power, this dis
organization and overturning of precedent
and law. At the conclusion of Robert
sons address he declared the Joint con-
vention adjourned to reassemble in the
same hall en- Wednesday, Jan. 10, to
vote Tor United States senator Speaker
Sayer then took possession of the gavel
and on motion of Gardner the house adj
iourned.

Within two days the Listener witnessed a
couple Of incidents on Washington street,
which illustrated admirably the difference
there is in people. Passing along near the
corner OF Temple place he saw two stout
elderly ladies standing side by side-one face
ing one way, however, and the other the
other way, glaring at each other with furi-
Gus eyes. There was a little grinning crowd
about them, and when the Listener came
quite I'D to them he saw what was the matter.
In meeting and undertaking to pass, the
clothing of these two elderly ladies had come
in contact and projecting button upon the
dress OF one had caught in the lace on the
garments of the other. Their strain TO dis
en.angie themselves lad drawn them into
regular snarl: the wrath of each had been
reused 10 the boiling point, and each woman
seemed to be exclairning in the language of
Scripture, "Who shall deliver me from this
body Of DEATH" Instead of leaving the dis

growing redder and redder, and their eyes
snapped more and more furiously. Pres
entity one lady gave desperate tug, the lace
gave way end the tie was severed. But i'm

Next day, passing over almost the same

were walking in opposite directions, stop all
at once, caught fast, just as the two women

A Case of Rats" as Related to the
Reporter.

Chattanooga Commercial.
The case of a negro, who rode all
the wayfrom Bowling Green to Nash
vile on the trucks of a car, with his
feet dangling on the ties, rendering
amputation necessary and the fact
that he slept soundly during all the
ride, has excited much comment.
But that can be discounted two to
one.
Vim Hunter, an eX-deputy sheriff
of this county. is now able to be on
his feet after a confinement of about
three weeks. 1t seems that Hunter
owns a store near Citico furnace, and
one night while he was sleeping in
his room in the store, the flesh of his
feet and the hard part of the heels
were gnawed off by rats. He slept
soundly during the festivities and on
ly awoke to find himself unable to
walk or stand any pressure whatever
on his feet. His friends say he has
spent three solid weeks in "cussing"
the rats, but of course that is an ex-
aggeration.
